[BUG] QFI header not added to gtp packet

[zhemant]

Describe the bug Core is sending qfi 1 to PacketRusher, we can see in the logs it receives and acknowledges. However when we send traffic from UE, the GTP packet sent out does not have QFI in the GTP header. This causes the packet to be dropped on UPF.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Compile using current main branch, attach 1 UE to 5G Core, when 5G Core sends QFI, it will be visible in logs, now try to ping and capture the traffic, the QFI header will be missing from GTP packet.

Expected behavior QFI header should be added in GTP packet if sent from the core

Thanks a lot for opening this issue. PacketRusher does not yet support adding QFI.

I'll publish two PR fixing the issue soon.

Thanks a lot!
